We would like to announce that the first TOBI BCI Workshop will take place on February 3rd and 4th in Graz.
The Graz University of Technology, established in 1811, consists of seven faculties and has about 10,000 students. The Laboratory of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI Lab) belongs to the Institute of Knowledge Discovery, which is part of the Faculty of Computer Science.
The BCI Lab is one of the leading labs in brain-computer communication. It is an internationally renowned research institution with a research focus on brain-computer communication and dynamics of brain oscillations. More specifically, the lab has extensive expertise in EEG recording, offline and online processing of brain signals and biosignals in general, feature extraction, detection and classification of brain patterns, and neurofeedback systems.
The so-called "Graz BCI" was one of the first online EEG-based BCIs introduced over 15 years ago. Various applications for this system, including spelling devices, computer games, functional electrical stimulation (FES), and navigation in virtual environments have been developed and tested in healthy users and several patient populations. The Graz BCI group successfully organized four major international BCI conferences over the last 8 years and plans a fifth conference in 2011. The BCI Lab is currently partner of the EU projects Presenccia (2006-2009) and TOBI (2008-2012).
